How do you store scat to keep it from molding or powderizing? I don't have a good source of it, so I have to collect it and store it.

I don’t store mine very long because my foxes supply me on the regular but keep it in a basket that can breathe. That, or freeze it.

This is probably the only place on the internet where the best way to store poop is discussed. I like it.

The 'secret' is to remove the moisture, that's what causes the mold when you seal it.
I have gallons and gallons of fox, bobcat and coyote dropping, all sealed tight as a drum in both glass gallon and plastic jars.
No mold.
It first has to be dried on screen and dried completely, that takes a bit. It's 100% effective if done right.

Want to re-hydrate ?
Rain water in a small container , add droppings, rotate back and forth , open the lid and pour it where you want.
Do it all the time !

I have been storing mine in a used bait jar. It's what I had at the moment. Figured it would let some of the bait odor go into the scat. Wether or not its good or works is yet to be seen.

Wire cricket cages are handy. Lots of air flow. and you can pull out what you need and re-hydrate as needed

I could use some bobcat scat for my upcoming season. I imagine placing it at or near the set could help. Didn't there used to be someone that sells Bobcat scat, and I think somebody once recommended using small Tootsie Rolls

^^^this works^^^^
I've got some cat scat that's lasted almost three years now. I dried it then packed it in an unused plastic pint bait jar with some unscented kitty litter. I think fine sawdust would work just as well. I've rehydrated it by dribbling bobcat urine on it.

If I found bobcat scat I'd save it, but I do not seem to come across cat scat.
